On board  the Mother  of  Invention home to  all of the freelancer  where they mostly trained or relaxed  before  they go on missions  for the director.

In the break room  south and the others were talking   and she was still  mad about   not getting an A.I. until  the director called her to her office for a mission.

North: you better get going sis you don't want to be late.

South: why me can't Carolina do it she always complain that she wants to do a solo mission.

Wash: well this could be an opportunity to get back on the board again.

South: your right thanks wash I got to go.

North: why did you tell her that?

Wash: what she wants an A.I. and I don't so she could have my spot.

After South Left she went to see the director in his office.

Director: agent south come in.

South: you wanted to see me Sir?

Director: a few hours ago we intercept stress signal we don't know if it part of the UNSC or the covenant. I want you to investigate and see if there are any survivers on board the ship or anything  that can  help us in our  war

South:  yes sir.can I bring backup sir?

Director: you can take agent North Dakota, agent Connecticut, agent New York, agent Carolina,  agent washington and agent Texas

South: yes sir.

As south was leaving to the shuttle she saw everyone on board and was ready to leave.

South: did the director inform you guys?

Tex: yeah he did and I don't like it.

Carolina: that you are not the one who gives the orders here.

Tex: no I mean that we got a stress single and we don't know who it is.

York:  I hate to say this boss but she is right  it could be a trap. From the instance.

Carolina: doesn't matter we have a job to do.

479er: hey are you  done arguing  because  if you are we just  arrived at the crash site.... and you should take a look at this.

York: is that  ship part of the UNSC  or covenant?!

North I don't know but that ship looks like a cruise of some kind.

Carolina: this is agent Carolina of project freelancer is anyone out there over.

After Carolina try to make contact but no one answered so 479er took the ship and went the the hanger and landed and saw some fighters, walker and shuttle badly damage

CT: I have never seen anything like that it doesn't look the tech is from the covenant.

York: hey guys I found something.

Tex: what do you got?

As the other freelancer went to York that saw a body but it was human. As they went deeper in to the cruiser they saw more body's but there amor was painting blue and they had dog tags.

South: hey look at the dog tags all they got is only numbers and ranks on them no names.

Tex: let me see. They do why don't they have names if they die from battle don't they tell the family how they die.

North: I don't  think  that is going  to be a problem  take off  their helmet.

Tex: what why?

North: just  do it.

They took off all of the helmet  and they looked alike.

CT: no why that are all are the same family.. wash are you okay?

Wash: yeah  I am fine  just a little  headache. But I feel I know this ship. And what  it can do.

Before anyone could  talk York found  4 croyo  pods

York:  hey guys I found something and there are 4 people  is  this in the pod... and they are still alive

Carolina:CT, York can you guys hack I to the system  to open  the pods.

CT: it's going  to take awhile because  I never seen  this before.

York: delta can help you with hacking.

Delta: I already  have 90  Percent of the system  when agent Connecticut was attempting  to hack  the system.

CT:and this it why I hate ai 

As the pod opened they saw a four  man and one of them woke up and saw weird people .

Carolina: South help him we need to get back the the ship. While we helped the rest.

South: got it.

As they got back to the ship he was aware of his surroundings.

South: guys I think he is coming around and they saw him got up and went to South and he ask her something.

???: Did you find any more survivers?

South: only you four are the only  that survived   but the rest are dead  am sorry.

Carolina: who are you and where did you come from?

????: we are from the republic and we were getting ready for a mission  until we were attacked  and had  to make an emergency jump... all arc troopers  were oder to go in croyo pods. That is all I remember

South: well I am agent south I am part of project freelancer.

Fives: project freelancer I have never heard of it?

As they were getting close to the ship they wanted to know who he was. Back on the Mother of invention the director and the councilor.was talking to the four  Arc trooper and the all agents were there.

Director: what Is your name ?

Fives: my number is Arc-5555 sir.

Heavy: we call him fives, I am heavy  this is  cut up, Droidbait, and echo

Councilor: so you you four are clones

Heavy: yes sir. And  looking a your tech and that the cruiser  that crashed cant be repaired...there is no going back home  so we are stuck here forever.

Everyone felt sorry for them because he won't go back the people he left behind.

Director: well you four could stay here and be part of project freelancer to become agent if you are willing to join.

Heavy: well boys what do you all think?

Fives: I think  it would  be better  then sitting  and missing  all of the actions.

Echo: I am with  you heavy

Heavy: well we accept your offer director.
